people who say it is a ridiculous plot


Of course it is, it is a comedy....and good one at that!
The crazy thing is there are actually many people who really do believe that the fashion industry is part of a major brainwashing,MK Ultra triggering, elitist conspiracy. And if you don't believe me check this stuff out...http://pseudoccultmedia.blogspot.com/

it will make you really rethink Zoolander even though made in the light of stupidity for laughs.

Zoolander does poke fun at all of it, fashion, celebrity worship ,etc. etc., the movie though silly does makes some valid points about societies obsession with beauty & how stupid that whole industry can really be. So I find the whole plot funny as hell because I have read so much about the crazy stuff they make fun of.

I am surprised you were the only one to mention the brainwashing plot of the film,considering how much information is out there concerning this. I have also read that the best way to make these sort of conspiracy theories seem silly is to turn them into comedies... hmm.. was Men who Stare at Goats the latest one perhaps?

Just what I was thinking! They took a serious topic that certain conspirationalists were on about and they made a light-hearted story around it. I don't get why people are so offended by the existence of this movie; I really like it, for not taking itself seriously and being acted like a buffoonery. Nobody who worked on it thought they were making a life-changing story or sent out a profound message to the audience: they were just doing something funny and light, for people to enjoy on an evening when they felt like watching something brainless and entertaining.

Also, if you're into stuff like www.pseudooccultmedia.blogspot.com, I suggest you also visit http://vigilantcitizen.com/ :)

What?!? I like to visit those sites when I'm with my friends. It's fun to read. For a while. Until you get depressed about the sheer number of lunatics in the world. :P
